Sweet! Finally back home with internet! Oh how I missed you! Lovely internet... how have you been? Well, Bret Michaels kicked complete ass Tuesday night. Me, Jason, and Melisa had a full on rock out goin' on. Wednesday I got my shower drain unplugged so I can now shower again. Its been clogged for bout two weeks and I stink. Thursday morning we trekked down to Ardmore for the family Thanksgiving at my Grandma Pakerson's. Then over to Mom's that night and today had another Thanksgiving meal. My cousin Elizabeth and her husband Scott came down from Tulsa. It always cool to see them. So we're back home in Guthrie now. I brought back a ladder and a new charcoal grill that's freakin' huge so we can party now! The ladder is for the Christmas lights I'm putting on the house tomorrow. It should be interesting. Then for Saturday night its off to the ole Bricktown Dog for the "new" Badwater show. Its should rock balls. Bobby kicks ass. Later on my fans!

WOOOOOOO!!!!!! I'M READY TO PARTY!!!!!! WOOOHOOOOO!!!! YEAH!!!! YEAH!!!! ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! PARTY LIKE A ROCK STAR TONIGHT!!!!!! KICK ASS!!!! ROCK N ROLL!!!! PARTY AT THE BREWERY WITH BRET MICHAELS!!!!!! WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! beer.

I'm about sick of everyone copying the iron cross design for West Coast Choppers, and even Haley Davidson designs for like high schools and shit. On the other hand.... man they are super easy to design.



Bret Michaels tonight! We're gonna get crazy at the Brewery. Then tomorrow the plumber fixes our clogged drain. rock.

Got pics up from the weekend. Don't for get to look at the pics I took with my phone in the Trice section. I had to use my phone at the bar Friday night since I didn't think to bring my "real" camera. Rock.

Ok, did everyone bring your note pads and pencils? Good. Ya'll better take some good notes. Here is a list of the people I had the pleasure of meeting and even having "a couple" of beers with. Joe Quesada, Skottie Young, Mike Turner, Everyone at Devil's Due . These guys kick ass. Sherard Jackson at Antarctic Press, Marc Silvestri, writer Paul Jenkins, and a buttload more. You can read about the convention at Wizard Universe but of course we had more fun at the Wyndham Hotel Bar actually shooting the shit and crackin' jokes with them all. Even ran into Jason Mewes for a bit.



Remember people.... tomorrow night is Bret Michaels at the Bricktown Brewery. You better be ready to party balls.

So, we're all back safe and sound. Gotta get all caught up on work and shit but we'll have photos and a rundown of how much fun we had later. We partied harder with artists than with any bands or shows I've been to. Yeah, you'll see.

So, there was like twice the fucking people there today than yesterday. Saw a Q&A with Jim Lee. He kicks ass. He lives in fucking Italy now. Couldn't get anything signed by him from all the ass-tards wanting to meet him. All the guys we partied with last night at the Wyndham had to put on a straight face for today. Yeah, last night was incredible. Quesada, Tuner, Silvestri, Jenkins. Hangin' with all that talent and getting stupid. All of them were cool as shit. We took a little break today at lunch and when we got back, guess who was out smoking a cigarette. Go on guess...... nope. It was Jason Mewes. Fuckin' A. We got out pic made with him. Tonight is Kareoke at the Wyndham bar. You pay to make the artists sing and if they don't they have to draw a sketch to be auctioned off. Its gonna be another good time I believe.

well, great first day at the show. we got lots o signatures. met some kick ass artists. ate at on the border. had a couple of dos xx pitchers and now we're goin' to sherlock's pub to get rip roarin' crazy. rock on. keep watchin for a late night blog.

Well we made here to Arlington. Had a great party at the Dog last night. We actually closed it down. Got home at three woke up at 7 and got full on a Sonic breakfast. Yeah we'll be hitting the Convention center shortly to join our fellow geeks. Keep watching my little random pic page for crazy sightings. I'll have another update when we get back.

Tonight there's gonna be a jail break, somewhere in this town. Tonight there's gonna be trouble...... according to Thin Lizzy. We're ready to head to Dallas tomorrow but not before we hit Bass Pro and the Bricktown Dog for the All Stars show and get plowed. You all pay attention now. Watch what goes on this weekend between here and here.

I thought about some stuff on my way to work. Here is the rundown of my train of thoughts. Be sure to keep up.......

I heard on the radio that a guy died in a vodka drinking contest at a liquor store in Russia. I think, "man, that isn't just any American vodka, that's the real shit." I believe "vodka" is the Russian word for "tequila" which is Mexican word for "whiskey" that is the American for "firewater" from the Native Americans.... whew. Then, I make a rule for the general population of the world. I guess it could be the 11th Commandment.... "Don't have drinking contests" or Thou shalt not imbibe alcohol for something offered or striven for in competition or in contests of chance".... that sounds better. Anyway, I start thinking about Russia. I kind of miss the SuperPower since its demise. The countries we worry about now are small and not very technologically advanced. We used to make bad ass movies with Russia and the KGB and stuff. One of my favorites was Clint Eastwood's "Firefox". I love all the espionage shit, especially with aircraft and top secret vehicles. All of my favorite movies and tv shows had some sort of cool vehicle. Which lead me to my list here of top tv shows/movies as I was growing up.

1. Firefox

2. Blue Thunder

3. Street Hawk

4. Knight Rider

5. Airwolf

6. Viper

7. Back to the Future

8. Herbie

..... not quite 10 but that's all I can think of now. So, there is my rundown of thoughts on my half hour drive to work this morning. Feel free to ad your favorite vehicle movies/tv shows or whatever.

Well, since Matt and I are taking off Friday to go on our awesome awesome awesome road tip, I think we'll hit the new Bass Pro Shop and give Jimmy Houston a severe cock punching then get Rick Clunn's autograph. We'll then probably hit the Bricktown Dog for the All-Stars to give Kevin a good cock punching. I hope he doesn't leave this post up for too long on his computer cuz I have the word "cock" on here like 4 times.



Oh and they're bringin' The Family Guy back. Its about fuckin' time.

I am Peter Pan!

Check the download section for a desktop pic for a new movie we'll be working on in the near future.

Man, it's really great when a customer comes in, leaves, and you start mocking them and they come back in standing at your doorway without you noticing. "He said he wanted mleh mleh mleh and to change mleh mleh mleh..... dumbass." You try to play it off like you weren't talking about them, but they know. Great.



I don't mock ALL customers now. Just the ones with stupid ideas...... which is about all of them.

I'm sure everyone has been beating themselves up wondering where our badass roadtrip (the one I mentioned a couple of blogs ago) is going to go this Friday. Well, just when you thought I couldn't be any cooler, we get to go here. Yes friends, We're all going to our first comic book convention. Not only will I be taking some of my #1's to be signed by the artists but Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes will be there. Yeah, we are gonna party it up this weekend. Our hotel has WiFi so stayed tuned all this coming weekend for updates of our ventures. We'll be taking pics of things you've never seen before and won't want to see again. Its going to be some fun (and funny) shit.

I am font crazy. I can't not get enough fonts. I have like 3 billion. I don't use half of them, but its just good to know that I have them "just in case". Most of these fonts look really good when you type the name of the font in the actual type face... but thats it. For instance, we downloaded the "Godzilla" font. It looked really cool so we wanted it, but the only word that looks good in that font is "Godzilla". Everything else is shit. Same thing with the "Friday 13th" font. Anyway, I brought this up because we recently completed our House Industries font collection. Doing design work, I'm convinced these are the only fonts you will ever need. They kick much ass and are limitless to what you can do. I don't know. I'm just excited to have like 40 more fonts.

Had a pretty rock n roll Friday night. Julie came into town from CO to party it up for the weekend.... and when Julie drinks.... everybody drinks. When she shows up, people seem to get stupid. She rules. Anyways, Saturday was a fun filled day at OCU's Homecoming. Melisa had to be present at all the shindigs which included a pep rally, two basketball games, and an alumni reception. I got to play meet and greet with all the suits and make my presence known. We hit the dog around 7:30 afterward, but we were dead tired. Got home round 10. Laid around the next day til 3:30. Then back to OCU for Light the Campus. Even saw Ashly there. It was a pretty cool deal. Reminded me of the lighting of Utica Square in Tulsa my family and I used to go to during Thanksgiving.



Oh, and I think this was actually written for Kevin. Not to worry though. Here is what to do.



That's all for now. Later I'll talk about the really fuckin' sweet road trip Matt, Melisa and I are taking starting Friday morning. Right on.

Found a new site for some funny readin' Urban Dictionary. Some of the definitions people write are hilarious. Like "Fo shizzle my nizzle" is from 17th Century England. Funny stuff, man.

So, I played around tonight and changed my website. You gotta keepa movin' and a goin' and changin' and a groovin' and a dancin'. You shoulda seem me... I was money. More tomorrow. Same Bat Time, same Bat Channel. Wonder Twin powers.... activate!

Kevin's been bugging me to blog.... so I did.

To the Bricktown Dog in less than 5 minutes. Gonna stay til South Park is over.... well thats the plan anyway. We'll see how much drinky drinky is goin' on.

So, I was watching this Marshmallow Kid Test on TV this morning. Let me set up the premise here. They took one four year old girl, one single marshmallow, and one bag of marshmallows on a table. The girl sat in a chair while a "grown-up" told her she can have the one marshmallow right now if she wanted when he leaves the room, but if she didn't eat it, then she could have the whole bag when he got back. The guy leaves the room and for over two and a half minutes a doctor and a reporter sit and discuss what the girl is thinking. Why?..... Why? Why? Why? It sounded like they were commentating a golf match. Whispering, "What do you think she's going to do now? "She must be struggling with this one." "Why is she talking to herself?" "What the fuck?". Now, I know everyone is dying to find out what the little girl did! Guess what, she didn't eat the one marshmallow, so she got the whole bag. I watched in horror as she sat there doing nothing. Then, I found out she was the youngest of three. I guess when you have siblings, its ok to wait and get what you want and if you don't get it, its ok too. Well, being an only child, this is how it would have gone down if I sat in that chair when I was four.

Grown-up - "Ragan, if you don't eat that one marshmallow by the time I get back then you can have that whole bag!"

Me - "Right on Brother. Rock n Roll."

Grown-up - "OK then.... and if you're good I will buy you any toy you want."

Well, that last part I made up but that's how it used to be. So back to me sitting at the table. I would be sitting there wondering how I could get that whole bag right now without waiting for that smart-ass grown-up to come back in. Fuck it. I'd tear into the whole bag as soon as the door closed and start eating away. When the dude would come back in, the bag would be empty (cuz I can eat a whole bag of marshmallows in under two and a half minutes) and I'd have sticky fingers, but that one lone marshmallow, that he told me not to eat so that I could have the whole bag, would still be on the table. I didn't eat it, so technically I could have the bag. I just got a head start. What's wrong with kids these days?

Couple of thing before I leave "work" here. I read in USA Today that they questined teens on business ethics. Are business leaders ethical? 18% yes, 45%, no, 38% not sure. The age of the teens? 13-18. Are you shitting me??? How about 100% not sure. What do they know? Damn kids!



Oh and on anothe note, can't we just have guy stuff anymore? Stay out of our garage! Its about as sacred as our bathroom!

Well it was a tough decision but early reports according to Variety.com says that Elizabeth Smart beat out Jessica Lynch in ratings. Where's your patriotism people?!? I mean, come on. Apparently we turned all religious and stuff now and seem more interested in crazy people. I guess "war heroes" are out. She was a hero right? She killed many of Iraqis didn't she? Oh wait the people whos rescued her are the heros and killed Iraqis. OK. Anyway, Homer did beat them all at number one.

Ok, this has got to be the coolest thing ever. Everyone take note... I want this for Christmas. I know everyone can pool together and get it for me. Maybe as a wedding gift for the newlyweds to live?

So, the Red Dirt Music Awards were yesterday. I hope they went ok. I didn't go. Why?

1. Because it was on a Sunday. Bad deal. When I get around all those guys I tend to drink beer and I gotta work on Monday. Plus it'd be over a two hour drive to my house.

2. It was in Tulsa. I don't know why. Didn't they just have the Spotniks like a month ago? A Lot of the Red Dirt Awards people were already recognized. I think they should have had it elsewhere...... oh, say Stillwater? OKC? a central location?

3. I don't think Red Dirt should have awards. I always thought this whole deal was "anti-awards". Now, I dig the Gruene with Envy Awards. Its cool to get recognition in a different market. Plus, its cool that Oklahoma can take over Texas. :-) I know the voting is based on the musicians and not the public, but I don't think I would want to make Bob, Tom, Cody, Jason, Mike, Stoney and all the other guys choose who is better than who or who has done more. Everybody was treated equally when all this started. It's cool that everyone got together for this deal. I just think it should be more of a festival like LJT's. I'm tellin' ya people. If we had an Oklahoma Music Festival, it'd be bigger than Woodstock. One of the biggest jam sessions ever. I don't know about anyone else, but I want music, not awards.

Anyways, It looked to be a pretty big production to get everyone at one place because that'd be a shitload of work. I hope it was cool and everyone enjoyed themselves. I know there were people there that haven't seen each other in a while..... and maybe there was a little old school jammin' goin' on in the motel rooms afterwards. I always heard great songs from those times. Keep on rockin'/truckin'.

I just to take a moment and give a shout out to the boys from Texas Jack. They were kind enough to mail me a cd, since in my drunken stooper on Halloween night, I forgot to pick one up. Its got some great tunes on there folks. Good shit. Keep on kickin' balls guys!



1 more hour of work and I'm going home, sitting on my ass, and doing a little catching up on my PS2. This last week's about killed me.

Let's go ahead and make this a Battle Royale... Elizabeth Smart vs. Jessica Lynch. Place your votes in the comments area below this post. Then for the official ruling, we'll let the almighty Nielsen Family choose the victor. Mormon vs. Soldier. We'll see who America cares about more. This ought to be good.

This Sunday is the big showdown between Jessica Lynch and Elizabeth Smart on Network TV. OH which one will win?!?! What will I watch??? These stories that have captivated the Nation! I know... I'm not watchin' either one. They're stupid. People that want to rake in the cash for "their story".... dumb dumb dumb. I know the story. I watched the news. I don't need a fucking TV Movie about it. I'll stick to watchin' King of the Hill and The Simpsons. Now that's good programming.

pics are up of last night.... hanging from rafters and all. going to see Elf tonight in OKC. I hope i don't go to sleep.

ugh..... party..... just like old times. didn't leave the dog til 2:45. good show. one in, one out. cody, wade..... yeah. pics will be up later. i ain't doin shit today.

Well, its going to be old school night at the Wormy Dog here in Stillwater. Sounds like a bunch of us old timers are gonna hit it again (even though it is on a Wednesday). For those who know why I'm going, Table Zero will be back in full effect!

This is what I'm talkin' bout ......... and this too and this will be better than Hook. You'd think I like comics and fantasy stuff. Oh wait, I do! burhur.

I ain't gittin' much done 2day. I did get my tag for my van. I was in and out of the tag agency lickity split. Under 10 minutes. Party. I don't know what to eat for lunch today. Any suggestions?

It seems I had to upgrade my web hosting account. SweetWebsite has outgrown itself (if thats possible). Anyways the "boob pics" are finally up. So. please, everyone enjoy the moments of one of the craziest weekends we've ever had. Thanks to all the people that visit this little site of mine (I'm gonna let it shine). yeah word up.

well i'm having a shitty time with my server uploading pics. some are up some aren't. I'm too frustrated right now to fuck with it. May wait til I get home tonight to remedy the problem. Sorry. They'll all be up soon!

I guess somebody bought out 96.9 The Bull out of OKC. Peckers. I'm going to start my own radio station a la' Pump Up The Volume. What a great movie. Another note.... saw a commercial Saturday night I thought might have been an SNL skit. It couldn't be real... no way. Why? Its too good to be true.

Happy November to all my peeps! Wow, what a crazy weekend. Hope everyone had a happy Day of the Dead yesterday. I myself was pretty dead.... dead tired! hahaha burhur... but I digress. It seems as if I got to be a rock star Friday night and Kevin got his chance Staurday. Let's see, where to start... oh I know! Friday night, Halloween, Melisa and I get all dressed up to head to Bricktown. We hit the Wormy Dog full fuckin' throttle. The night's music started with Swamp Donkey. I gotta say, that's one of the best band names I've heard. Texas Jack then took the stage by the time we were getting completely hammered. Everyone (well, not "everyone") was dressed up in nutty costumes tearin' it up. Those boys from Texas Jack can throw a party. I have the best time with them and not just because they let me take the stage with them and my ukulele to sing Talk Dirty to Me. Thanks guys for letting me have my moment to shine (other than kareoke). Melisa and I even won "best couple costume" and got tickets to a Blazers game. Rock. I also believe there was some boob signing and nipple showing as well. I'm tellin' ya....crazy stuff. We close the bar down and head home to rest for Bedlam!

The game sucked. The Sooners smoked our ass.... but we still drank beer. Heard a guy say "Yeah, it was cool that the Sooners could beat the 8th grade Jr. High team we sent out to play." I agree. Gotta love the Cowboy Spirit. Later, we had to make a quick run to the liquor store for the bar to get some sweet n sour. It seems there's a guy there that orders Cabo Wabo Tequila Margaritas by the pitcher and they ran out of the mix. So, we do that, then head back to Guthrie to let the dog out and rest for an our, then head back to the Dog for The Great Divide. The Wormy Dog All-Stars open the show. Then the Divide packed them in. Biggest crowd yet I've seen down there. They put on one hell of a set. We didn't quite close the bar down but we left at 1. Apparently, there was some events that ensued. I won't go into detail but I will go off on a small rant here. If the cops have to pull out a book to try and bust people for something, that's ridiculous. That's like a surgeon going in to an operation with an instruction manual and trying to find other things to do just because he wants to show what an "authority" he is. If you don't know what you're going in for in the first place, don't go in at all. That makes you look stupid. I hate when some cops pull the punk card and no one is really doing shit wrong.

There.... I'm done. A butt-load of pics from the weekend will come later today. I'm tellin' ya, crazy stuff man.
